Does anyone know which pub this was?

In !898 John Duller only rented the refreshment rooms at Bingley Hall. He'd rented the refreshment rooms before at shows there. So the refreshment room may well have, on later occasions, been 'dressed' to look like a tavern/public bar.

I remember seeing a newspaper cutting of large, almost life-size model buildings of Birmingham's historical places on show at Bingley Hall. Very lifelike.
 
The first picture is of a Bingley Hall Trades Show (note the Bovril stand on the right) pity we can't spot the refreshment rooms (taps and all), although the second picture does show EH James's sample room and features Phoenix Dublin Stout.
